The Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Browns are battling it out here at Cleveland Browns Stadium. The Redskins (7-6) are battling for a playoff spot with rookie quarterback Kirk Cousins making his first-career start. The Browns (5-8) are trying to play spoiler in their 2012 home finale.

1st and 10 >21: Kirk Cousins finds Pierre Garcon, who gets four yards on the pass-and-catch.
2nd and 6 >25: Cousins on the play action out of the I-formation finds fullback Darrel Young for an eight-yard gain and the first down. That was a well-designed play.

2nd and 6 >37: Cousins — again on play action — finds Garcon on the post route across the middle for a 16-yard gain and into Cleveland territory.
1st and 10 <47: Morris gets nowhere on the run — in fact, he loses a yard.
3rd and 8 <45: Cousins finds Garcon just short of the first-down marker. The rookie quarterback double-clutched on the throw and delivered a low throw to his receiver.

2nd and 10 <22: Weeden’s pass was knocked down at the line of scrimmage by Doug Worthington. Nice play by the reserve defensive lineman from Ohio State.
3rd and 10 <22: Weeden gets heavy pressure from Lorenzo Alexander, but his pass to Massaquoi gets nine yards. Another three-and-out forced by the Redskins’ defense.

ENSUING REDSKINS’ DRIVE:

1st and 10 >46: Morris gets a one-yard run.
2nd and 9 >47: The Redskins challenge a play ruled incomplete on a sliding catch attempt by Garcon. The ruling on the field, however, stands.
3rd and 9 >47: Cousins, in the shotgun, finds running back Evan Royster for a 25-yard pass and catch. That pass had some great touch on it.
1st and 10 <28: Cousins drops back and slips as he attempts to find a receiver. His throw goes into the ground.
2nd and 10 <28: Morris carries the ball for three yards.
3rd and 7 <25: Cousins’ pass to Leonard Hankerson is incomplete.
